| Pen Collections | |
 |
We have put this gallery of pen collections together for your viewing pleasure. We plan to add to our collections on a regular basis so check back often for new collections or additions to current collections. Scroll down this page to view those that have graciously allowed us to photograph pens from their personal collections for inclusion in the Galleries. |
Now simply click the collection you would like to view and enjoy!
 It's impossible for a project like this to be the work of one, or even a few people. Rather, it has been thanks to many people that we've been able to take the Collections Gallery from a simple idea a few years ago, and turn it into a constantly growing online resource for penlovers worldwide. Our current goal is to end up with a "one stop" site to visit when you wish to see a simple image of whatever pen it is you've heard discussed via email or on a bulletin board. Obviously, we can't have every example of every model ever made, but we see nothing wrong with using that as our goal! It should make for an interesting project, if nothing else. This will be a continuous and on-going project, with both new collections added, as well as new examples added to the existing collections, as we're able to photograph more examples. |

This brings us to the important part, the collectors who have very generously allowed us to shoot examples from their personal collections for inclusion in the Gallery. We cannot thank these folks enough; it's due to their willingness to share their collections that we've been able to proceed with this project. Perhaps the best part of this job has been getting to shoot the photos, and talking to the owners, hearing all the tales of how each "treasure" was found, whether in a dusty antique shop, or in a last minute auction bidding war. It's been a lot of fun, and looks to only be more of the same as we expand. |
 If you would be interested in allowing us to add photos of some of your pens to the Collections Gallery, please feel free to contact us, and we'll arrange the details. Thanks to everyone for their help, whether it took the form of allowing us to shoot photos of prized pens, assistance with the dating and identification details, or simply a kind word after visiting. I hope you enjoy your visit to the Collections Gallery! |
